LOVE yourself.

“I met this girl on Mondaytook her for a drink on Tuesdaywe were making love by Wednesdayand on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday”

I love Tinder. And I love Craig David.

But seriously, we all have preconceptions on how love and relationships should be. How we were going to meet the one. How it will be rainbows and fairies with unicorns. You’re going to fall in love, date for a bit, then eventually get engaged then married.

However, we have forgotten the most important relationship of all.

A relationship with ourselves.

We put all our focus on defining ourselves with things: With our job, how many much money we have in the bank, how we look, and romantic relationships.

We put so much emphasis on trying to find the one, that we forget to find ourselves in the process. I strongly believe you need to love yourself before jumping into any sort of romantic relationship. People usually find themselves filling an emotion hole just with a “person” rather than dealing with their own personal issues. We’ve all had it or done it. e.g rebounds or emotionless sex.

But how liberating is it to feel completely content with how we are as ourself.

So how do we do this? By self discovery:

Be content in any situation that we are in.

Being thankful constantly for the good things in life and with what we have.

Accepting the beautiful flaws that we have and embracing every little quirk that makes us, us.
